Morris tribune., 1887-09-14

John Watson sold his large farm in
thu town of Scott, with all the stock
on same, to F. J. Maekey, Of Mime
apolis, last week. The consideration
is not made public. Mr.. Mackey Will
continue to run the farm with Mr.. A
Warner az foreman.
Some boys entered the rink last
Wednesday night and appropriated
the water melons on exhibition there,
which were intended for the State
Fair. If the rascals who committed
the theft are discovered they should
be severely punished.
Practice the rule of never putting
offthe work which should be done In
one month untilthe next one. There
is nothing that keeps farm work so
we'll in hand and Shrugged up' as to
do all kinds of work at the proper
time, or a little before.-Farm, Stock
& Home.
The farmer plants his seed, and
while he is sleeping the corn Is grow
ing. So with advertising. While
you are sleeping or eating your adver-
tisement is being read by thousands
of persons who never saw you or heard
of your business, and never would
had it not been for your advertising.

The following is good advice for this
time Of the year: The time will arrive
shortly when you will put up your
stoves for winter. Before you do this
make thorough examination ofyour
chlmnsys, and places where the pipe
passes through partitions. A little
time spent in this way may save you
an expensive conf1agration.
A young man named William
Riley was brought over from Browns
Valley yesterday noon and lodged in
Jail here on the charge of criminally
assaulting a widow woman namsd
Burrls, living at the former place.
The ease is an aggravated one, and
strong talk Of Iynching was INDUCED
in at the Valley before his removal.
Brutss of this description should be
given 'Iong rope and short shift. !"

One of the surprising things about
the average church goer, who attends
church simply to. be entertained, IL
that he Is willing to sit and listen to
good choir and good sermon and b.
| satisfied to contribute nlckle as ar
| equivalent. # he went to any public
entertainment, furnishing AZ gpoe
music, lie would not consider fifty
cents too much to give. An ordinary
sense of justice would seem to sngges
that twenty-five cents would not b.
extrayagaat amount to put in tn
contribution box, under the ciFcumH
staDees.-Ex.
